Frame Relay
Description & Capabilities

Frame Relay offers you an affordable yet fast and flexible data transport option for your business. This connection-oriented, packet mode service enables you to transmit data at high speeds while achieving cost-efficiency and performance advantages over other architectures.

• Provides a fast, reliable and affordable alternative to dedicated point-to-point data circuits
• Establishes flexible, "nailed-up" connections between locations on the network, allowing large variable-length frames to be sent back and forth at the speed you need
• Allows you to create your own routes and set up permanent virtual circuits --your own series of point-to-point virtual connections -- throughout your network
• Makes it easy to add or delete locations and modify sites
• Includes 24x7 network monitoring and maintenance
• Performance is guaranteed with service level agreements

Frame Relay Applications

• Share text, graphics, and other data between corporate sites over a wide geographic area
• Connect LANs, WANs, and other communications equipment at up to DS3 speeds
• Build a flexible network that can grow as your data transport needs increase

Frame Relay improves your business

• Distance insensitive pricing and flat rate term contracts simplifies budgets
• Choose the data transmission speeds that exactly meet your application needs
• Support more transmissions without having to add circuit capacity
• Save money by using relatively inxpensive equipment or CPE you already own
• Use dedicated access to a shared network, eliminating dedicated links
• Reduce your operating costs significantly because Frame Relay uses a single-line interface with fewer required ports and no multiple-access lines
• Add endpoint users easily and for a fraction of what it normally costs to add users

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
Description & Capabilities

ATM continues to be a dominant standard for high-speed data communications. It is widely used from the core of a network to the edge, enabling the movement of data, voice, video and Internet traffic across a single, integrated network and/or circuit.

• Pay only for the bandwidth you need
• Customizable quality of service (QoS) raises or lowers the priority of traffic offered to the network in accordance with your business needs
• Rapid scalability allows you to support more users and applications as they come online
• Distance-insensitive pricing saves costs over private lines
• Inherent re-route capabilities ensure that your traffic bypasses points of congestion or failure on the network
• Performance is guaranteed with service level agreements

ATM Applications

• Multimedia services that require priority transport across a wide area network
• Voice and video streaming, where connections require a very steady, predictable throughput
• Connect multiple PBXs for savings on your voice network
• Run real-time video applications to multiple locations
• Internet and Intranet applications, LAN internetworking and storage area networks where connections are prone to more bandwidth bursting

ATM improves your business

• Allows you to expand your network reach without expending capital
• Eliminates the need for separate lines for multiple applications, resulting in cost savings
• Saves time and increases productivity with high quality digital transmission and re-route capabilities within the network
• Simplifies management of Internet and WAN applications by using the same interface
